COMPASS
EDGE
 

We provide a variety of spaces and formats for individuals to gain knowledge of how their conditions and behaviors uphold oppressive systems of harm and we support them working through the internal liberations that is the first step in dismantling harmful systems of racism, patriarchy and unhealed family systems.

 

Many often end up joining movements, placing skins on profile pictures, or wearing bracelets because these provide immediate action and sense of impact. What leads us to these actions is anger and a need for justice. Anger is an appropriate response to harm of our society! Anger is an action emotion. And as quickly as the movements come, they go, often without any lasting impact or changes.

I, too, have struggle with participating in performative liberation and had no idea what to do. I wanted real action, real impact, and the problems that I saw felt far too large for me to shift alone. Through my liberation journey and through the attempts that I fumbled, gave up on, and shamefully got completely wrong, I have discovered the most important place to begin is not with external action but with internal exploration. Individual dismantling and individual reconstruction.

 

When we are able to begin to heal individually from these harmful systems we stop participating in performative liberation and begin a radical act against these systems.
